About Cala Finestrat, Finestrat
Finestrat is one of the most popular destinations on Spain's Costa Blanca for international property buyers. With over 300 days of sunshine per year, excellent healthcare facilities, and a large expat community, the area offers an outstanding quality of life.
What purchase taxes and costs apply to this property?
As a resale in the Valencian Community, this purchase carries ITP transfer tax at 9% of the purchase price, rising to 11% on the entire value above €1,000,000. Note that tax is charged on the higher of the price paid and the property's official reference value, so treat any figure based on the asking price as a minimum. Reduced rates and local allowances may apply if you meet this region's conditions (for example age, large-family or disability status, or buying a primary residence) — worth checking before you budget. In addition, budget for notary fees (typically EUR 600–1,200), land registry fees (typically EUR 400–800), and legal fees of around 1% of the purchase price plus VAT.
Can I get a mortgage as a non-resident buyer?
Non-resident buyers can access Spanish mortgages, though lenders typically require a deposit of 30–40% of the purchase price. Interest rates on Spanish mortgages currently range from approximately 3.5% to 4.5%, depending on whether you choose a fixed or variable product and the lender's criteria. We recommend obtaining a mortgage offer in principle before making an offer on a property.
What are the ongoing running costs for this penthouse?
Community fees are estimated at €160 per month, covering communal facilities including the pool, gymnasium, and security. Annual IBI (council tax) is estimated at €450. Both figures are estimates and may be subject to change. You should also account for utility connection costs and any applicable rubbish collection charge, which can be confirmed with the local town hall.
Can I arrange a viewing remotely?
Yes. We offer video viewings for buyers who cannot travel to the Costa Blanca immediately. Our agents can conduct a live video walkthrough of the penthouse and the communal areas of Seascape Resort at a time that suits you. In-person viewings can also be arranged with advance notice.
What is the rental potential for this property?
Finestrat and the adjacent Benidorm area attract strong tourist demand year-round, with particular peaks in summer and around the Easter and Christmas periods. A penthouse with a solarium and sea views at this resort can appeal to short-term holiday renters. To legally let the property as a tourist rental in the Valencian Community, you will need to register for a tourist licence (VT licence) with the regional authorities before advertising. We recommend taking local rental management advice before purchasing with this intention.
What does the purchase process involve?
First, you will need a Spanish NIE number (tax identification for foreigners), which can be obtained at a Spanish consulate in your country or at a local police station in Spain. Once you agree a price, a reservation contract is typically signed and a holding deposit paid to take the property off the market. This is followed by a private purchase contract (arras), under which a further deposit (commonly 10% of the purchase price) is paid. Completion takes place before a notary, who registers the transaction and transfers legal ownership. We strongly recommend appointing an independent Spanish solicitor to carry out due diligence throughout the process.
